...#1. In the Bible, seven often symbolizes completeness (cf. Genesis 2:1-3, 7:2; Leviticus 4:6, 17; Revelation 2:1, 6:1, 8:2, 15:7). What could the “7” (v4) symbolize for the “one, holy, catholic, & apostolic” church? Does what is written concern mainly those communities addressed in the letter, the rest of us, all us, or something else? Note: it does not symbolize ages/eras/dispensations of the church.

...#4. How confident are you in the claims that Jesus was physically, historically, really resurrected? That we too will be resurrected just like him on the Last Day? Remember the claim is that so far Jesus alone has already been resurrected; we will receive it much later.

See Mark 9:14-29, esp. v24; Small Catechism: Creed; SC available bookofconcord.org
